<p><b>Additional developers are always needed for DScaler!</b></p>
<p> In only a short time, this project has garnered a <b>large, loyal, active,
and knowledgable user-base</b> of videophiles. This project is
making waves in the home theater industry! The project is
currently in need of developers with a broad range of skills
(C++, assembly, user interface, video internals, etc.). Your
skills will be utilized immediately, as we seek to keep this
extraordinary momentum going.</p>

<p>To get started on DScaler development browse through the source and check out 
some of the documents linked below and then introduce yourself to the <a target="_blank" 
href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/deinterlace-discuss">
developers mailing list</a>.</p>

<p>Please refer to the <a target="_blank" href=
"http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=7420&atid=107420">bugs</a>
and <a target="_blank" href=
"http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?group_project_id=7174&group_id=7420&func=browse">
Todo</a> pages for the current task list (Note, these may be
outdated. It's recommended to join the mailing list to keep
yourself up to date!). If you think that you can take on a part
of one of these tasks, everyone on the mailing list would love to
hear from you.</p>

<p>DScaler is released under the GNU Public License. Browse the
<a target="_blank" href=
"http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/deinterlace/">
CVS repository</a> and take a look at the code, then <a target="_blank" href=
"http://www.dscaler.org/downloads.htm">download</a> the latest release source zipped. In
addition to the latest release source, you may be interested in
reviewing the latest beta source, updated from CVS four times
daily (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.dscaler.org/downloads/dscalermodule.zip">application</a>, 
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.dscaler.org/downloads/directshowmodule.zip">test deinterlace DirectShow module</a>).</p>

<p>The source compiles under MS Visual C++ 6.0. The application
has grown out of the GPL code base of MultiDec and MoreTV, two
cable descrambling programs.  By combining the GPL parts of both
and extending them both, we were able to create a new legal
totally open source project.</p>

<p>The individual source files are in the <a target="_blank" href=
"http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/deinterlace/">CVS
Repository</a>.  To get check-out and check-in access, you will
need to get cvs and to make a few configuration changes see the
project <a href="CVS_Instructions.htm">CVS Instructions</a> for
more details. Please e-mail your Sourceforge username to the <a
href="mailto:dschmelzer@hotmail.com">webmaster</a> to be added to
the project and for CVS check-out and check-in permission.</p>

I only recently found this site and have had a quick look and found that 
most of the information you need should be buried in this lot.</p>
